Barker Bits

News, events, and occasionally, my rambling thoughts...

In Jan. 2010, Marvel will be releasing the HULK VISIONARIES: PETER DAVID VOL. 7 TPB. It collects issues # 383-389 of the series and Hulk Annual #17. Issues # 383-388 were of course illo`d by the always awesome team of Dale Keown and Mark Farmer. Issue # 389 was the issue I penciled, inked by Mark Farmer and written by Tom Field.

It's fun to see something that I did so long ago reprinted, but I also cringe a bit that it was something I did so long ago.

Hey all!  It's been awhile. I've been keeping really busy, not a good excuse, I know. Anyway, here's what's new:

The Garfield's Pet Force DVD came out in June, and I get my first movie credit. It turned out really well, Jim Davis wrote an action-packed fun script and the animation studio did a great job bringing the characters to cgi life. I'll be adding more to the Pet Force page soon and detailing how it came to be, for those who might be interested.

I'm now on Facebook and can be found under Gary Allen Barker. I used my middle name thinking it would make me easier to find and instead, may have made it more difficult...sigh.
Classes start up at Ringling on Monday, Aug. 24th. I'll be glad to be back in the classroom, teaching Illustration I and Children's Book Illustration this semester.

If you have any questions or comments, I'd be glad to hear 'em."

Happy New Year!
